TikTok Shop will be making its debut at the 2025 National Ploughing Championship at Tigh TikTok (TikTok House), bringing its digital commerce to life for the first time in Ireland.
Ireland's top TikTok Shops, including several Guaranteed Irish brands, will host TikTok Shop LIVE sessions across all three days of the National Ploughing Championship.
Attendees can see first-hand the LIVE shopping on-site, while app users across Ireland can join and shop the experience virtually through the Tiktok app.
To support Irish businesses in their LIVE shopping sessions, they will be joined by two of Ireland's well known 'Farmtok' creators: Fin Walsh, a 25-year-old dairy farmer from Co. Limerick; and Katie Larkin, also known as the 'The Abbey Cowgirl', who is a Galway-based suckler farmer.
Tigh TikTok will be located at Block 5, Row 30, Stand 551 of the National Ploughing Championship.
Anna Marie McHugh, assistant managing director of the National Ploughing Association, said: "TikTok Shop offers a fantastic opportunity to highlight Irish brands and products in fresh and creative ways.
"With millions across the country engaging on TikTok each month, it provides Irish businesses with a direct channel to connect with customers in a dynamic, interactive, and engaging manner."
Since launching, the number of sellers on TikTok Shop Ireland has more than doubled from January 2025 to May 2025.
